Kangroos.

Sometimes I hear a small voice say "Mama, I want to be close to you. I want to be your roo." 

It might be this little girl.

 Or it might be this boy. When his behavior isn't ideal, a half hour or so on my back fixes everything just about every time.  He says he 'needs' me.

 Babywearing is really a part of parenting I truly love.

And I love when she brings me her baby, or he brings me a random stuffed animal...

 And asks for me to help put their loved one in the 'roo' carrier. 

 They know just how special baby/toddler/preschooler wearing is.  And that makes a mama smile.
